Your character is awesome. You may have went a little over board with the armor, but its still cool. The textures are coming out great too. My only suggestion would be to possibly add something to the hair texture, to make it look more like strans of hair, or to add depth to it. The hair that is sticking out doesn't look so good as compared to the rest of the model.

I love the creature (especially the feathers) and the way you render your images adds a very nice touch. I think you should win.
